It does tend to, because it's made of snow and rain. Rain is warmer than snow and so will melt it - unless the temperature at ground level is sufficiently cold for the rain to freeze when it comes into contact with the snow already on the ground.

No, nothing "dissolves" snow because snow is just water, as is sleet. If sleet falls on a snowpack, it will tend to pack down the snow due to the force of the ice pellets, but it will not melt the snow.

No but it melts, unless you mean can snow dissolve things in which case you need to chose better wording.
